Inertia’s training series
This is the story of raising my own Border Collie, from those first puppy days through adolescence and into adulthood.
I wanted to show you the whole process of raising Inertia in detail: what we taught, how we taught it, and the successes and mistakes along the way.
We’ve created hundreds of free videos and full training series, along with videos from the books, podcasts, interviews, and appearances. Explore Videos + Books →

COPS + DOGS
Unmasking the intersection between policing and dogs.
The familiar hero story leaves a lot out. We’re following the history, the evidence, the human consequences, and the welfare of the dogs who work with and are harmed by police every day. Then we’re asking what real change could look like.
Monthly support starts at $2 USD and currently funds Cops + Dogs. The main investigation and public resources will remain free to access.
Global Consensus
Read clear evidence summaries, review professional guidance, and go straight to the sources behind the work.
Training Is Political
Explore how dog training connects to welfare, ethics, politics, punishment, disability, race, public policy, and collective liberation.
Who are we?
Zak + Bree
Bree and I have been life and work partners since 2011. Together, we’ve helped make modern, humane dog training accessible to millions while following the ethical questions that training raises wherever they may lead.
For over two decades, we’ve helped dogs and families build reliable behavior without intimidation. Along the way, we’ve watched harmful methods get rebranded and normalized.
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between being effective and being ethical. You can raise a well-trained dog while protecting their emotional wellbeing.
